Maiden Voyage-Triad Pairs Exercises

The Triad Pair system is an immensely powerful innovative improvisational tool!

Just as a master chef adds special ingredients to a dish to produce a mouth watering flavours we can learn to colour our improvisations in a masterful way superimposing triads, taking our playing rapidly to a higher level.

This iconic Jazz tune by Herbie Hancock that features suspended chords has a wonderful harmonic progression on which to practice a variety of triad pairs.

The PDF contains the carefully crafted lines demonstrated in the Youtube video that feature the triad pairs in different groupings of 3, 4, 5 and 6 notes bring out the sound of each chord.

The expansive lines of the triad pairs produce a modern, open sound.  The exercises challenge the technique as the whole range of the instrument is employed.
